Macports install of ack doesn't create correct executable
- by user1664196
I am trying to install p5-app-ack port from Mac Ports, but it seems it doesn't create a /opt/local/bin/ack binary at the end:
$ sudo port search *app-ack
Password:

A grep replacement that ignores .svn/CVS/blib directories
p5.8-app-ack @1.960.0 (perl)

Update
If I then try to install p5.12-app-ack afterwards, I get
$ sudo port install p5.12-app-ack
